Appeal a Citation

The parking program has an administrative appeals process for individuals who believe their parking citation was issued in error. The appeals process was authorized by the Town of Wrightsville Beach.

The administrative appeal process includes three levels of appeal:

Administrative Review
Administrative Hearing
Appeal through the Superior Court

Administrative Appeal

This appeal is made on a technical basis, such as a mechanical failure of a parking meter. The parking manager has the authority to dismiss such appeals.

Administrative Hearing

If your appeal is not technical in nature, or if you disagree with the staff technical review, you may request a hearing before an independent hearings officer. Before the hearing is scheduled, you will need to pay a bond in the amount of the citation plus any penalties. If your appeal is successful, your bond will be refunded.

The appeal form may be obtained from:

The Parking Office
5 Live Oak Drive
Wrightsville Beach, NC 28480
910-256-5453

As a matter of policy, the parking program does not accept the following as grounds for appeal:

Lack of knowledge of the city's parking regulations
Conflicts or tardiness going to or returning from appointments
Inability to find a valid parking space

Failure to have appropriate or sufficient amount of coins.
